I don't remember fixing that :P Basically, if this happens to you, it's possible that, if 'no derivatives' are still ticked on the item, that it will have derivatives only until the deriver makes its next pass, every 12 hours.

[In other words, there's a bug, but it may correct the bug itself.]

If the derivatives aren't going away, re-edit the item, make sure the 'no derivatives' box is ticked, and update it.

Ah, okay. Heh.

Thanks for the info. So I infer then, that if I ever retroactively want to not use derivations, that I select "do not" on the edit page, and they'll be gone within 12 hours? That's helpful to know, as I do have a few past releases that I wouldn't mind doing away with the derived formats.

That's exactly correct, and applies to anyone else who runs a netlabel - if you want to remove derivations, just edit the release at click that 'No Derivations' box.

However, it doesn't currently work the other way round - if you unclick the box, it doesn't _YET_ automatically make new derivations for you. It may do eventually, however.

Oh, and the adding derivations when replacing items is a bug, and a known one, I think, so apologies for that.
